Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Antonik Family know that we recently sent a donation to the Force Recon Association in honor of Christopher J.

We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond.

To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we...
